Taken For A Ride - The Murder of Mass Transit

This is something any bicyclist and public transportation advocate should watch:

Why Does America Have the Worst Public Transit in the Industrialized World, and the Most Freeways?

Taken for a Ride reveals the tragic and little known story of an auto and oil industry campaign, led by General Motors, to buy and dismantle streetcar lines. Across the nation, tracks were torn up, sometimes overnight, and diesel buses placed on city streets.
